Eagles - Desperado Lyrics






Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

    My uncle died yesterday. He lived a rough life and this song came to my mind before I found out. I love you P.

  26. J.... S....

    My favorite Eagles song hands down. I sang my daughter to sleep with this song from the time she was born until she got too big for bedtime songs--we danced to it at her wedding and it made it seem like a full circle kind of thing because now she sings it to my grandkids when they go to sleep. Shared moments are the best.

    J.... S....

    My heart just burst <3 So very beautiful, Jay. Thank you so much for sharing <3

    크리스마스여서 들으러 온사람 조용히 손좀

  32. R.... C....

    Desperado is the GOAT

  33. B.... B....

    Why are yall cryin so much?

  34. L.... W....

    I’ve known a few “desperados “ in my life, but now I realize that I am one, too.

    L.... W....

    A very widespread archetype with legendary heroes from every time and culture. Desperately striving and battling to some how redeem themselves. We mold our heroes from the clay of immortality, but they are us in every aspect, except for the tiny bit of hope that shines from within. Why not? We are all made of stardust.

  35. N.... ....

    Has a Paul McCartney vibe to it.

  36. N.... ....

    Part of it sounds like it was a Beatles song... GENIUS.

  37. W.... C....

    You better let somebody love you before it's too late. That line really hits home

  38. M.... K....

    Life is gone in the blink of an eye ...... for God's sake live it.

  39. T.... ....

    I’m only here because this is Niall Horan’s favourite song

  40. a.... ....

    is this the desperado from seinfeld?

  41. c.... ....

    Fleckman

  42. N.... N....

    Sitting on a sofa in the living room with a glass of whiskey in one hand and a cigar in the other.

  43. S.... ....

    They have the same sound with hotel del luna ost ❤️

  44. L.... G....

    This was my dads favourite song and I sang it at his funeral... it hurts me so much to listen to but I love it so much

  45. J.... J....

    Made some excellent music !!

  46. I.... M....

    Seinfeld brought me here

  47. T.... P....

    My favorite Eagles songs are: 1. Hotel California, 2. Desperado, 3. Witchy Woman, 4. Heartache Tonight, 5. Lyin Eyes.... such an iconic group. There music will be good forever.

  48. D.... S....

    This song best describes my life how at the worst points in my life I had to fight alone surrounded by enemies

  49. C.... S....

    Seriously!! What about you? What’s going on with you?? And why do your eyes read a fake smile? And what do you mean. Don’t start now!?? I never started it in the first place.

  50. �.... ....

    후기 :
    데스파시토줄 알고 들어왔다가 3번듣고 갑니다

  51. C.... S....

    Are you okay???

  52. B.... K....

    BEST.SONG.EVERRR!!!!!!

  53. C.... V....

    I sang this song to my boyfriend when we first met in 1980. He was going through some really tough times and this song perfectly described him and how much I loved him. We married and now close to 40 years later we're still together through thick and thin. Times still aren't always easy but that's life. We're happy together and have been since that first day so long ago. This is my favorite Eagles song because of that. Thanks to the Eagles for this beautiful haunting song and for being such a huge part of my life.

    C.... V....

    Thx for ur commentary

  54. T.... S....

    Beautiful Song

  55. R.... C....

    Love the older music 👌❤️

  56. K.... C....

    Who's come after V saying this song when he was playing saxophone😍

  57. R.... S....

    unbelievable that the only real rendition of this song we can get is foreign

  58. J.... F....

    I love all of the Eagles!

  59. t.... v....

    What does "out ridin fences" mean? Rodeo?

    t.... v....

    Getting high, drunk, sleeping around, etc. and not settling down.

  60. L.... F....

    You better let somebody love you..before it’s too late 💋

  61. M.... M....

    Absolutely love this song forever!

  62. N.... B....

    I still love this beautiful song...it’s a very accurate description of the person who cannot let themselves be loved because no one has loved them right from the start when we need love to lay our foundations...

  63. �.... ....

    I guess the people who disliked this have lived in a perfect world where there's no pain of human affair. Otherwise how could you not like this.
    The song scratches the itchy part of my soul.

  64. m.... s....

    seinfeld

  65. T.... L....

    This band can do no wrong in my eyes. Absolute magic😍🤩

  66. D.... ....

    Imagine being the one who created this wonderful song. Imagine having that talent.

  67. T.... H....

    Best song ever written period.

  68. R.... S....

    I know this song because V (Taehyung) of BTS said he had played this song with his saxophones
    Thanks for him to introducing this beautiful song

  69. N.... ....

    The part about don’t pick the queen of diamonds is. If there is a pretty women is she maybe a gold digger/Fake that she likes you and will dump if she finds someone richer than you. Find someone that truly loves you.

  70. R.... E....

    RENZ VERANO....

  71. E.... K....

    I remember when I was a kid and there was a moment when the music caught me standing watching and listening. She smiled at me and saw that I felt and understood her. This moment just came up again....

  72. D.... B....

    A SONG THAT THE EAGLES CAN BE PROUD OF!
    I'm still at the point, where I see beauty in loneliness...

  73. �.... ....

    斉藤和巳の引退セレモニーで流れてた曲

  77. z.... ....

    I'm still at the point, where I see beauty in loneliness...

  78. S.... Y....
